Join the iHeard
project and help Mississippians become better informed with accurate health facts.
The Problem
People hear many health and wellness "facts" every day. Not all of them are accurate, and many can be misleading.
The Solution
Understand the health information heard circulating among Mississippians, and alert communities to trustworthy, timely and accurate information they can rely on.
Be Part of the Solution
The iHeard project is recruiting 200 Mississippians to become part of our community information panel.
Panelists complete a short survey each week on current health topics. The Mississippi State Department of Health then uses survey results to create up-to-date, accurate health alerts that we share with communities. The latest information will also appear online at the iHeard Health Claims Dashboard.
